LEARNING
OBJECTIVES
Upon successful
completion of this activity,
the clinician will be better able to:
- List the criteria used for diagnosing metabolic syndrome
- List the most current guidelines and describe the
available diagnostic tools used to assess metabolic
syndrome risk factors
- Develop a systematic risk factor reduction plan
for patients with diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia
and other metabolic syndrome criteria
- Apply various therapies to treat metabolic syndrome
and reduce risk factors in the context of primary and
secondary prevention

Study with Lifestyle and Obesity Management
GOSPEL
(Global secondary prevention
strategies to limit event recurrence after myocardial infarction;
results of the GOSPEL study, a multicenter, randomized controlled
trial from the Italian Cardiac Rehabilitation Network)
Outcome: Cardiovascular
mortality, non-fatal re-MI, angina requiring hospitalization,
urgent revascularization procedures, hospitalization for heart
failure, non-fatal stroke.
Number of participants: 3241
patients with recent (<3 months) myocardial infarction who
completed an initial cardiac rehabilitation programme.
Comparison: Long-lasting
(over 3 years) multifactorial continued educational and behavioural
programme (extensive cardiac rehabilitation sessions, monthly
from months 1 to 6, then every 6 months for 3 years with aerobic
exercise, comprehensive lifestyle and risk factor counseling,
and clinical assessment) vs usual care.
Design: Randomized,
open label, active control, parallel assignment.

Mission
of the Metabolic
Syndrome Institute |
Created
in 2003, the Metabolic Syndrome Institute is an independent
and not for profit association. Its members are international
experts in lipid metabolism, diabetes, heart disease,
endocrinology obesity, genetics, epidemiology, basic
research and health economics. Being the first association
totally devoted to the dissemination of knowledge about
the metabolic syndrome, the Metabolic Syndrome Institute provides an international multidisciplinary approach
to a worldwide public health problem.
